Chapter 74 Incense in the world, the heart is the door
The hall of Fulin Tower was now empty.
Just now, Chen Cuo first fought with the evil ghost, and then had a fierce battle with Hou Xiao in the background. Both were resolved quickly, but the aftermath was quite serious.
However, now that the fighting has subsided, there are still a few brave people who have taken a few steps closer to take a look, but they dare not enter the hall again and are looking at it from a distance.
Chen Cuo did not leave in a hurry, but walked in the hall.
Although his condition is bad, he has regained his ability to move after simple breath adjustment. The main problem is that the confusion caused by the two facial masks merging into one is now also suppressed by the Taoist heart. It is just that his mind is overdrawn at the moment, even without wearing the facial mask.
The same thing is also affected, thoughts are like ripples, spreading constantly, like whispers in the ears.
But before leaving, there is something that must be determined!
The Taoist trembled slightly in his heart, and mobilized a small amount of spiritual consciousness to spread out, communicating with the strong human thought light remaining in the room one by one, and taking advantage of the situation to explore.
In an instant, everything inside and outside Fulin Building was clear, and a lot of information was fed back.
Chen Cuo's face was solemn.
"There is no breath of Lu Shouyi and Yufang, and there is not even a trace of residual thoughts. It is like they disappeared out of thin air. Where did they go?"
The two worshipers could have been used as help, but they disappeared at the beginning of the battle, and they were thought to have been caught in a trap. But now that the evil ghost is gone, Hou Xiao has fled, and Chen Cuo still can't find any trace of the two of them, which is weird.
"Two Daoji realm monks disappeared while protecting themselves. They must be involved afterwards. Moreover, Zi Ju and others are also missing. Could it be related to Taoyuan in the third picture? What secrets are hidden in it?
?”
A large part of the reason why Chen Cuo was able to find this place was because of the objects left behind by Zi Ju and others, but in the end, there were not many people there.
Suddenly, a feeling of weakness came over him. Chen Cuo's body swayed, and the spirit in his heart became exhausted. He knew that he had to go back to practice.
There were also bursts of yelling outside, and it was obvious that people from the government were coming.
Chen Cuo is not afraid of meeting this group of people, but now he must stabilize his situation first.
"That General Hou is very domineering. Hou Xiao was seriously injured, so he will definitely pursue the case. The Hou Mansion cannot return for the time being. If I am not here, the people in the manor will not be implicated. Moreover, the adjustment of breath has been restored to half, and someone comes to kill me. It's okay.
If a person can protect the Dharma, he must first find a place to recover and then make long-term plans."
However, after he traveled through time, he was either bored in the Marquis Mansion or living in a Buddhist temple. There was really nothing familiar about him.
"Guishan Temple is an option, but I am diverting trouble to the east and involving Buddhism, which is not a good thing..." At this thought, he remembered the talisman in his silk bag.
"You will owe a favor so soon, but in the current situation, having an experienced monk by your side will be helpful and harmless. As for the favor, just write it down. It's not like you won't pay it back. Now that the evil ghost threat has gone, in the future
Then you can practice wholeheartedly..."
His thoughts turned around and he already had a plan. He found some clothes and put them on. Then he raised his hand and made a move. The remains of the ghost head in the bamboo cage that he had dispersed began to tremble. A group of strong thoughts rose from it and were absorbed into his mind.
.
Suddenly, the Taoist in his heart became much more stable.
After gathering his thoughts, Chen Cuo did not leave through the front door, but chose a back door to leave.
Before leaving, he communicated with Chen Hai and others who were wandering outside to give instructions.
Hearing the voice but not seeing the person, Chen Hai was startled, but he recognized Chen Cuo's voice and followed the order to leave.
As soon as the people left, Chen Cuo did not hesitate, took out a talisman, pinched it with his fingers, and the talisman ignited. After some exchange of ideas, he got the address. He found the direction and left quickly.
Soon, Chuiyunzi walked over in a few steps, walked around in a circle, said "Sorry, I'm a step late," and then hurried away again.
Soon, the patrol soldiers arrived and looked at the almost half-destroyed pavilion, speechless for a long time.
Before they could investigate, two men in black came over. After showing their tokens, the soldiers saluted and then cooperated.
After a lot of work, one of them left in a hurry, went to a yard, and went in to report.
Li Duoshou sat among them.
"I've looked over at Fulin Tower, but I haven't seen any trace of the Marquis of Linru County, and... I haven't seen the two worshipers. The details remain to be investigated."
Li Duoshou was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, he waved his hand and said, "I understand, you go down first."
The man clasped his fists and backed away.
Then a ray of purple energy fell down, condensing the human form into a powerful shape.
Li Duoshou quickly stood up, stood aside, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Gaozu."
The person who came was none other than Nanchen Gaozu, Chen Baxian, who was transformed into a ghost!
He looked majestic. At this moment, he was even more hesitant. He did not sit down and said with a stern face: "Look, what kind of offering are you picking? Where are the guards? There is no need to ask anyone to find them. My grandnephew has just been here."
After leaving the Dongli Gate, it’s time to seek shelter from the Kunlun Taoist!"
Li Duoshou immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and confessed.
Chen Baxian sneered: "My elder Chen clan was seriously injured by someone in Jiankang, and we had to seek help from outsiders. Haha, how glorious!" After speaking, his anger condensed, and the sky suddenly became dense with dark clouds!
Li Duoshou shed a drop of cold sweat, waiting to say more.
Chen Ba first waved his hand: "Hou An has already come out of the palace, and he should have got the news. If I don't meet him, he has an official position, and I can't hurt him. It seems that no one in this big Chen can cure him.
Yes." After speaking, his voice became a little deeper.
"Your Majesty, please calm down your anger. I will..."
"Take care of yourself!" Chen Baxian said, turned around and stepped forward, "There is no need to look for my grandnephew for the time being."
By the time he finished speaking, the person had disappeared.
Li Duoshou breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried away.
.
.
"waste."
Houfu Courtyard.
In the main hall, Hou Andu, dressed in regular clothes, spoke calmly. Although the words were scolding, there was not much anger.
He has a face with a Chinese character, slightly red skin, a beard, and a majestic golden sword sitting there, giving him an air of calmness.
Hou Xiao knelt in front of him, with his head lowered. The wounds on his body had been bandaged, but his whole body was much shriveled, his expression was even more haggard, and sparks fell from time to time in his seven orifices.
He raised his head and said bitterly: "I know that I have made a big mistake. As long as my brother says a word, I will fight even if I risk my life... I will kill the Marquis of Linru County. If the court asks for the crime, I will kill him."
It’s my sole responsibility.”
"What can you bear? Look at you, your martial arts skills are useless, and you want to kill the Marquis of Linru County? When you were full of energy and blood, you were beaten like a dog!" Hou Andu shook his head, his tone
There weren't many ups and downs, "I'm just asking you, do you know how precious the ghosts in the book are?"
Hou Xiao grabbed the ground with his head, filled with regret: "The evil ghost is the key for my brother to escape from the constraints of the dynasty and achieve immortality! It is also related to the Taoyuan portal..."
Hou Andu tapped on the table.
"The Marquis of Linru County cannot survive the storm. Sooner or later, he will be a stepping stone for me to achieve immortality. He is a monk in the clan. Logically speaking, he should be killed. But because he is involved in the ghost in the book, it is considered a good thing for him to keep him alive."
transport."
He lowered his voice: "I am returning to the court this time to take advantage of the opportunity to live forever. Gaozu has recently returned to his soul. Even if I have ways to avoid it, I don't want to cause trouble, so I remind you to wait and don't cause trouble for the time being!"
Hou Xiao first pleaded guilty and then said: "The Houcheng Mansion in Linru County is not shallow. He is obviously a first-level man, but he can actually display magical powers, and he is extremely cruel and cruel! It's really... it's really..."
"You are so scared!" Hou Andu sneered: "He can use magical powers, either secret methods, or with magic weapons, or even magic weapons. It is normal for his clan to get one or two treasures. Besides,
I am connected by destiny with the emperor. If he deals with me, he should not pretend to be an outsider and secretly cultivate a clan monk. It is not an accident. It is just like marching to fight. You should predict in advance that the one with more temples will win.
!”
"I know I was wrong," Hou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to say a few more words about the power of the Marquis of Linru County. After noticing Hou Andu's expression, he didn't dare to say more. Then he remembered something and said tremblingly:
"But the entrance to the Broken Peach Garden..."
Hou Andu's face finally darkened, and he said coldly: "I have been searching for many years before I found this opportunity to stabilize the family! I also trust you and leave it to you to guard and herd, Hou Xiao! I am so disappointed!"
Hou Xiao kowtowed again and again.
Hou Andu didn't look at him, and said indifferently: "When I went to Guishan Temple to seek advice, the temple master said that the door of the Buddhist country mostly relies on incense and human beings, and uses the human heart book as the door, and then it can be suppressed by immortality, so that it can be stable for a long time.
But even if you are a powerful family, how can you produce anything that will make people happy and make books popular among people?"
Hou Xiao lowered his head and did not dare to raise it, his body was trembling.
Hou Andu sighed and said: "The evil ghost was born from the book. It looks like a ghost but not a ghost. It is the destiny of God and me. It can connect the broken peach land. When I live forever, I will enter it.
If my destiny is ruined because of you, even my clan brother cannot afford it!"
Hou Xiao was as silent as a cicada.
"Fortunately..."
After a while, Hou Andu continued: "The evil ghost originated from Chen Fangqing. He took back the evil ghost for refining. This incense portal naturally fell into his hands. I will keep the evil ghost in captivity. Then Linru
County Marquis Chen Fangqing must be invited to come over and stay in my house, so that you can rest assured!"
Hou Xiao quickly lowered his head, not daring to answer the conversation.
"Don't worry, I know you are too timid to go. Soon you will be a useless person. What else can you do? I will personally take action!" After saying this, Hou Andu stood up and said, "His mansion is in Qing.
Let’s go by the stream.”
"Brother, I..." Hou Xiao was about to defend, when suddenly a servant came over and reported: "General, King Ancheng is visiting and said he wants to see you."
"King An Cheng?" Hou Andu raised his eyebrows, "That's fine, since he's here, I'll ask him to send the person over in person!"
